Love and Hip-Hop

Napoleon Da Legend
Used to sneak in the basement to get a better glimpse of you
Listening to your voice to have a better sense of you
Made my heart race would confide in you when in a dark place
Switched your tone swiftly when I touched the crossfade
I love how you never gave a fuck about fitting in
Hardcore and playful yet still militant
I would take you everywhere that I would go
The chemistry we shared together was real powerful
You would uplift me we learned to compliment each other well
Reminisce when we would kick it in the crib with brother L
Doing us no fucks about what anyone say
Always believed we’d build an empire together one day
Even moved to the 718 we both grown
You missed it it was time we moved back closer to home
To get that feeling back back when the passion was raw
When we would just vibe and find happiness in a song
Napoleon Da Legend
But girl I see you changed
Still my love remains the same
(It's Love and Hip-Hop)
Gave it all up in your name
But somehow became estranged
(and you don’t stop)

She would provide the vibe and the rhythm we would ride with
We were swinging at times I would 9 to 5 it
Always saw her sliding with some other artists
Bi-sexual at times she said my mind was too intellectual
She fell in love with bad boys and jail birds
Swear words they would censor when she talked over the air
This girl was the life of the party could hardly keep up
Was turned on she noticed then she would call me a cheater
Every other month her style would switch though
She was an older chick though bi-polar shorty was skitzo
She used to skip rope now she digital
Cats used to trick on her now they rub her titties
And they skip on her
She only talk about bread we used to have deep talks
We lost touch I even thought she was dead
Then one night she rang the bell face flooded with tears
I fucked her in the hall and bust a nut under the stairs
Napoleon Da Legend
But girl I see you changed
Still my love remains the same
(It's Love and Hip-Hop)
Gave it all up in your name
But somehow became estranged
(and you don’t stop)

They criticizing our relationship
Maybe cause they jealous maybe they disappointed
Wanna see us doing better
And it feels like we be going through this every year
The history we share is too deep for us to see clear
Frustrating but its electric when we connect
We switch the energy inside the room
We have that effect
People rooting for us both to succeed
Those who know agree that we be representing
What the culture would need
No sleep traveled around the globe you and me
Would get it popping just about anywhere you could think
But for some what we rep is unacceptable
All I know is that bond we be sharing together is inseperable
Laid together got paid together
And the mark we leave behind will undoubtedly stay forever
Its all facts you my first lady
Let’s stick it through
For better or for worse and drive the world crazy
Just me and you baby
Napoleon Da Legend
But girl I see you changed
Still my love remains the same
(It's Love and Hip-Hop)
Gave it all up in your name
But somehow became estranged
